Should you decide to take an Early Release, please read this support article first. It gives instructions for the case of upgrade failure.

Prerequisites

Please ensure that you have some free disk space before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. Check that the upper figure in the circle (see the picture below) in menu page Settings > System > About product does not exceed 10 GB. If it does then delete some video clips, pictures or other data from Phone Memory.

If connected to the internet, your Jolla should receive an OS update notification shortly.

Please pay attention to the following advice:

If your device is running software version lower than 1.0.4.20 and have WareHouse app installed (i.e you are using OpenRepos), disable all OpenRepos repositories before attempting to upgrade your device

In all cases please uninstall the Open Repos app Phonehook before the OS update - it has been found out to contribute to OS update failures.

It is good the close all other apps before you start the update

Do not restart the device while the update is in progress

Keep the battery charger connected to the phone

The device screen may blank out during the update process, you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

For detailed instructions on updating software, visit our Help Center.

Once the device has rebooted after a successful upgrade, Android runtime starts to update it's environment. Allow a couple of minutes for it to finish its stuff before taking the phone into regular use. Using the phone during this period can appear sluggish.
